Miso Film is a Danish film and television production company owned by Fremantle and based in Copenhagen. It was founded by Jonas Allen and Peter Bose in 2004.

History

Jonas Allen and Peter Bose initially met at Per Holst Film/Nordisk Film in 1999. Later, they continued their collaboration with FilmPeople and Yellow Bird, before setting up their own company in 2005.[1] In November 2014, FremantleMedia acquired 51 percent of Miso Film.[2]
